..... HIM was around since 1997, the band was overshadowed and
considered second rated because during this time Cradle of Filth
and Marilyn Manson were the rage of dark, black and goth
rock.
In 2004, just when Cradle of Filth and MM were slowing down, HIM
released the BEST of album : And love said NO. MTV picked two songs
The joy and sorrow & Your sweet 666 for heavy play in their
rock channel, and suddenly everything just happens for them. Lots
of rock magazines like Metal-edge, Circus, Kerrang and Revolver
gave them plenty of reviews and front cover features. As all these
magazines are easily available here, so i guessed the locals
started to noticed HIM!! This is the main reason i started to check
them out and also after hearing the songs Your sweet 666 and In joy
and sorrow on Mtv. Furthermore the song Wicked Game went up the
rock chart too.
In fact i had heard of HIM much earlier, but i was heavily into the
music of Marilyn Manson. I dun think local radio play his songs,
our local radio hardly play any rock songs. Yeahh you are right Mr
dead Man, HIM is quite popular at the moment over here, but some
still prefer My Chemical Romance.
Sooo why you like HIM? When do you start listening to them? Your
fav tracks?
My fav tracks for HIM ; And love said no, Buried alive by love,
Solitary man, In joy and sorrow and Gone with the sin.....
